This toy cardboard robot named Danbo was commissioned by Amazon Japan from Azuma Kiyohiko, the creator of the manga character Yotsuba-chan who lives with her adoptive work-at-home dad, and whose happy-go-lucky adventures are recounted in the popular serial, Yotsubato/Yotsuba
If either the original or Amazon versions of Danbo were actually made of cardboard instead of PVC vinyl, or were actually bigger than 13cm, I'd be kind of pissed that Amazon won't ship these things outside of Japan. But if I were a Yotsuba-loving dad, I'd just wait until Boxing Day and make a kid-sized one the old-fashioned way.
